쉐도잉 연습: when did you stop dreaming - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

that dream is worth holding on to.

And please don't let anybody tell you that it's not.

Anything is possible.

Whenever all signs pointed towards it's not possible, I kept telling myself over and over and over again, it was a decision.

It was not based on fact.

It was not based on anything that I saw.

It was just my dream and a decision based off that dream.

Over

and over again, I would tell myself no I'm going to make this happen

I don't know how I don't know where it's going to

come from I don't even know where I'm going to find

the motivation to do all of these things I say I'm going to

but I'm going to coming back to the decision

that I am good enough and I do deserve this

and I can do this and I am going to figure it out

and I am going to be in the right place at

the right time keep going keep committing those failures those rejections

those things in your way are actually revealing the path even further.

They're revealing to you what it is that you get to learn now, what you get to do a little bit differently, how you get to try again.

Don't give up.

Don't give up when it feels hard.

Stop letting other people's projections of their fears and everything get to you.

You have a different path.

You have different strengths.

You have different passions.

You are meant for something and you know it deep down

and it is painful for you to give up that dream so don't give it up.

I think

it's a good idea.

I feel like I've never made a video in jeans before.

I feel like you guys have never seen me in jeans before.

Oh my gosh, look at this lizard really quickly.

There we go.

I'm definitely sitting right beside some poison oak.

Hi everyone.

I am sitting in the forest behind my apartment right now

and the creek is going a little bit since we've had some crazy summer storms this past month.

It's just sort of indescribably peaceful

and beautiful back here oh my gosh the cardinals there are just red cardinals flying everywhere

and the creek is flowing birds and the bugs and the deer

and everything and i know

that maybe not everyone it's not everyone's dream to live amongst the nature

but for me ever since i was a little girl

when i was in sixth grade my instagram was called nature nymph

and i have just always been on this you guys like this is not really an aesthetic

or style that i picked up just deciding to

oh love these bugs ew oh that is scary looking okay

so you're seeing the ups and downs of this nature right

but um i've loved nature and flowers

and all these things for as long as i've lived

and i've always dreamt of living on my own to say

that i have done this and that i have moved out on my own, with my own money, on my own terms,

at 23 years old, I have made my dreams come true.

And I know I have a lot more life left to live.

And some people might be like, okay, living in a forest at 23 years old, good for you.

But that literally has been my dream for so long is to just to be independent,

to be in a place that I fully am surrounded by things

that make me feel peaceful and happy and inspired and I did it and I am doing it.

And it's not easy.

Living out the dream is not always easy

and it doesn't always look the way we think it's going to

and realizing that I've made this dream come true is also not really easy.

Allowing your body, a body that has been in survival mode for so many years, for so much time, to actually believe no you're safe now,

No, you accomplished the thing that you spent years and years and years and nights and days dreaming about, daydreaming about, fantasizing about, praying for.

This thing is real and you've made it a reality.

Sometimes actually taking that in feels impossible because our body is used to survival.

It's used to struggle.

It's used to pain.

It's preparing us for the next difficult thing to go through

and it doesn't believe that it can accept peace or happiness

or the things that maybe we've been wishing and dreaming for all along.

So I've currently been in a process where I'm learning to let these dreams sink in, to let any sort of accomplishment that I've made sink.

Look at this.

There's just so many things I'm seeing everywhere.

Hold on.

It's a cicada.

You see these cicada shells all over the place.

It's kind of sad because they're the things that you hear right now and they die, but it's part of life, right?

okay but anyway it's not always easy to accept

that we've accomplished something

and i found myself self-sabotaging a lot recently just trying to deny the fact

that i've made certain dreams come true which sounds

so silly to reject a reality that you've always wanted

but sometimes that's what our body and mind will do

if all we know and all we've been used to is pain

or survival or sorry about that mosquito or just trying to get by

when we're not in

that phase anymore it can take a lot of getting used

to it takes sometimes like sitting with myself for hours

and hours and letting myself cry and having to process these changes

and these emotions but overall when I sit here

and I reflect on the fact

that I have made my dreams come true I think about every single time

that I wanted to give up even now times

that I feel like rejecting this reality or just giving up

or telling myself I'm not worth it there were just

so many moments in this journey

and there still continue to be of me not wanting to believe in myself

and me thinking that my dreams are outlandish

100

and like I can't make them happen

101

and this person is telling me I can't do it

102

that way and this person is saying this and I can't do it

103

because of x y and z and I have negative dollars in my bank account and how is it gonna work out?

104

Like I have been in these positions time and time again where everything feels like it is not going to make sense.

105

And I promise you, if you decide that it is and you decide that your dream is worth it regardless, you can accomplish things that seem impossible.

106

You can make the impossible possible just if you decide.

107

And I know that it sounds like I'm simplifying everything.

108

It's just based on a decision, but I am telling you it is a decision to keep your dreams alive

109

and to continue to commit to them every single day no matter what that looks like for you.

110

The cutest little mushrooms are sitting in front of me right now.

111

They are so adorable.

112

I know I can't speak for everybody but I can speak my story

113

and my experience and I for some reason I wanted to make this video

114

because I know that you need to hear this too.

115

I know that there were some of you out there that felt like giving up on your dream.

116

I don't care what age you are,

117

who you are, what you look like, where you live, no matter what this video is for you, but I specifically know that during this time in our lives,

118

whenever we're becoming adults and we're in our early 20s, this is the time that we give up our dreams.

119

This is the time that we start to think, oh maybe they were right, maybe the real world is too much, maybe I do need to give this up, maybe I do need to start thinking this way,

120

maybe I do need to be more practical, this, this, and that.

121

And don't get me wrong, I love to be prepared, I love stability, I love security, I love reading finance books,

122

I love learning about everything

123

that I felt like I want to be better at as an adult and learn how to do.

124

There are responsibilities that we have.

125

There are things that we're gonna learn.

126

There are things that we've never done before that we're going to be faced with.

127

I know that the real world is harsh.

128

I know how depressing- Oh my gosh.

129

So I didn't know that airplanes could get that close.

130

Okay.

131

I know what it's like to feel completely swallowed by the disappointment of reality and growing up without money, not knowing what is going to happen,

132

what you're going to do.

133

I know there are tools and lessons and things

134

that we must ensure that we understand

135

and keep in place in order to sustain a life for ourselves and to build a life for ourselves.

136

There is so much to learn.

137

But when it comes to giving up, what brings us the most joy?

138

The thing that makes us feel alive?

139

That's what I'm talking about.

140

When did you stop dreaming?

141

I know you're thinking about it.

142

I know that you're thinking about giving it all up.

143

And if I can ever do anything for you, I want this video to be a sign to not give up.

144

I want this video to be a sign that yes, I know that sometimes it's so confusing and disappointing and strange

145

when we are trying to make our dreams come true or pursue our passions or take risks.

146

I know that it can feel so disappointing and scary

147

and full of failure and rejection and like maybe we aren't supposed to prioritize

148

or pursue our passions and we're meant to just play it safe

149

and keep ourselves in a state of dissatisfaction and unhappiness our whole lives.

150

I know that sometimes that feels like the answer

151

but I swear to you there are ways to continue to prioritize your passion even

152

if that means that you have to balance other lessons in life

153

and there are other things that you must do in order to survive and take care of yourself.

154

I understand that but I promise you prioritizing that dream, even if it's a little bit,

155

even if it's just including your passions in your everyday life for five to ten minutes, whether that is, I don't know, like I'm friends with an actress, right?

156

And she is doing what she needs to to make ends meet right now

157

and she feels as though part of her creative soul is dying because she's not giving to her craft in her lifestyle.

158

And she realized, oh no, okay, if I keep giving in to what the world is telling me to do here

159

and to just play it safe and to not actually pursue my passions, if I keep going down that route, I'm going to keep feeling this creative part of me,

160

this child in me, this passion in me die off and I don't want that.

161

So now she is figuring out every single day how she

162

can include a little bit of her passion back into her life, whether that's at work reading a chunk of a play every day

163

or watching a film that she's very passionate about or studying a certain actor that she looks up to, even if it's just a few minutes every single day,

164

She's prioritizing her passion.

165

There was a time

166

that I was working a job where I completely gave up my camera I gave up my writing

167

and I was so unhappy and I was making money

168

and I was creating security for myself in a normal job and I could Well, I don't know how normal it was but you know in a job

169

that wasn't had nothing to do with my creative abilities I couldn't do it I didn't want

170

that security if it meant sacrificing the things I knew I was meant to do So I am telling you, even if it feels so far away

171

and you feel like you haven't even touched your passion

172

and what brings you peace and joy in your life in so long, I promise you it is not too late.

173

I don't care how old you are.

174

I don't care what it is you've spent all your time doing.

175

It is never too late to prioritize your passion a little bit more and to feed to your dream again.

176

I don't know what that looks like for you.

177

Maybe it's going all in and it is taking a huge risk.

178

Maybe it's moving across the country.

179

Maybe it's pursuing your passion after work, before work, during work.

180

Maybe it's talking about it with your coworkers.

181

I don't know.

182

I don't know what it exactly looks like for all of us.

183

All I know is that that dream is worth holding onto.

184

And please don't let anybody tell you that it's not.

185

I've watched too many people, especially at this period in our lives,

186

let fear hold them back and let other people's stories hold them back and I don't want that for you.

187

I don't want that for me.

188

I don't want fear to hold me back.

189

I don't want fear to hold anyone I love back.

190

I want you to know that anything is possible.

191

Whenever all signs pointed towards it's not possible, I kept telling myself over and over and over again, it was a decision.

192

It was not based on fact.

193

It was not based on anything that I saw.

194

It was just my dream and a decision based off that dream.

195

Over and over again, I would tell myself, no, I'm going to make this happen.

196

I don't know how.

197

I don't know where it's going to come from.

198

I don't even know where I'm going to find the motivation to do all of these things I say I'm going to, but I'm going to.

199

And coming back to that decision every single day is not easy.

200

And that's kind of what I'm sitting with here today.

201

Coming back to the decision that I am good enough

202

and I do deserve this and I can do this

203

and I am going to figure it out

204

and I am going to be in the right place at the right time and I'm going to meet the right person.

205

I'm going to find the right resources.

206

Everything will present itself to me.

207

Making that decision over and over again is not always easy.

208

I know.

209

And that's why people give up on the commitment to their dream

210

or to a mindset or a belief that will help them get there is because they don't see it working fast enough.

211

So they think, yeah, you know what?

212

Everyone's right.

213

This is stupid.

214

I shouldn't believe in myself.

215

Look, I got rejected or look, this didn't work out or look I'm failing in this way

216

but no keep going keep committing those failures those rejections those

217

things in your way are actually revealing the path even further they're revealing to you what it is

218

that you get to learn now what you get to do

219

a little bit differently how you get to try again don't give up don't give up

220

when it feels hard don't give up when you fail failure is a win.

221

It's showing you what you need to do to get there.

222

Keep going.

223

Because if I gave up every time that I felt hideous

224

or that I felt worthless or that I felt like it wasn't going to happen or that I was unsure, then I would not be sitting here right now in this little forest of my dreams.

225

I would not be living the life that I still cannot even believe that I'm living right now.

226

It is because I've committed to a decision over and over and over again.

227

And even right now, I'm in a stage where I don't know what's gonna happen next

228

or how I'm going to live out the next part of my dream that I see, but I am just deciding.

229

Just decide.

230

You decide.

231

We've talked about that before.

232

You decide that this dream is coming true.

233

Nobody else will.

234

Stop letting other people's projections of their fears and everything get to you.

235

You have a different path.

236

You have different strengths.

237

You have different passions.

238

You are meant for something and you know it deep down and it is painful for you to give up that dream, so don't give it up.

239

Your dream, your strengths, your future, all that you can envision in your mind, it is there for a reason.

240

And I know there are a million things telling you why it can't happen and why it shouldn't happen, but if I can be the one thing to tell you

241

that it is going to happen if you decide and

242

if you commit and if you stick with it and you love

243

and commit to that dream and yourself over and over again despite the fear, despite the failure, despite the shortcomings,

244

despite the lack of this and that, figure it out.

245

Find a way.

246

I may have disadvantages in my life but I also have privileges

247

and I watch people who have so much less than me do massive things

248

because they believed and they decided and they found a way.

249

So I am telling you I promise you there is a way

250

and I don't want to hear excuses I know I know

251

I know there is a way to make it happen There is a way to prioritize it even

252

if it's just a few minutes out of your day I

253

promise you what you focus on will grow Whatever attitude

254

and mindset you decide to come back to that is your life However,

255

you decide to perceive your life and what is possible is what makes it possible Anyways guys, I know that was kind of a quick message

256

But I really really had to say that today

257

because I was just thinking about it as I was spending some time outside

258

And I know there's someone out there who needed to hear it because i've needed to hear it a million times.

259

So Remember that we are on this journey together and I will talk to you very very soon I love you.

260

Bye Thank you.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
